IE 6 quits when letters 'sex' in address

[BigMac]

Every time I try to access a site with the word 'sex' in
it e.g. 'Sussex', I get thrown out of IE and dumped back
in the desktop. No error message, just a beep! I have
tried freeing up everything I can on the restrictions
under internet options etc., to no avail. I used to have
access, but don't know if this behaviour started after an
upgrade or not. I have just uploaded the service patch
1, no difference. Any ideas?

Hi BigMac

Every time I try to access a site with the word 'sex' in
it e.g. 'Sussex', I get thrown out of IE and dumped back
in the desktop. No error message, just a beep! I have

You might check and see if there is a site blocker engaged. Such might
prevent you from accessing sites that have certain word references.

Or.....your PC is indeed a prude, and watching out for your best interest.


Hope this helps.
